Family Planning Only Services (FPOS) 

& Teens.

FPOS or Family Planning Only Services is an insurance program through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services similar to BadgerCare. It is a form of low or no cost health care that covers sexual and reproductive healthcare with the goal of preventing unplanned pregnancies. Specifically, it aims to meet the needs of those with limited income or those who are dependent on parents income, like teens!

The benefit for FPOS coverage, is that it can be kept totally confidential, which means the person getting the care doesn't have to worry about who else may find out from insurance bills, explanation of benefits, or appointment summaries. And for teens, that is extra important because we know youth who are afraid of their parents/guardians finding out about their sexual and reproductive health care are less likely to get needed care!

 

While there are many opportunities to use FPOS to meet teen health care needs, it can get confusing! Our hope, is that these teen friendly resources will help you support youth in getting the care they need and deserve through FPOS.
